After being transferred from juvenile to adult prison, Mel Blight (Vincent Miller) is taken under the wing of both Mark Shepard (Cosmo Jarvis), Australia's most despised criminal, and Warren Murfett (Guy Pearce), a soon to be paroled inmate. As a paternal triangle grows between them, we see that even the worst of men have a little bit of good inside that will be their undoing.

Critics Consensus

With unflinching authenticity and haunting, deeply layered performances, Inside transforms its stark prison-based narrative into a gripping, emotionally resonant study of violence, regret, and the fragile possibility of redemption.

B+

“Inside” is a small and constrained prison drama, even by the inflexible standards of its genre, and yet Williams’ debut is so replete with such moments of raw compassion that it almost invisibly accumulates a deep well of emotion.
